Oh, pleeease… “It didn’t work out…”, “not in love”. All these excuses are such a script. It sounds like he painted himself into the corner and now is trying very hard to convince himself and everybody else that it didn’t work out. How did he expect to work it out? When he came back trying to patch the things with you, did he expect you to jump into his arms with the joy, forget all the hurtful things he did, be ok with him sneaking out to see hww, etc.? And does he expect his kids to be ok with the whole thing, just because he says he loves them, disregarding the fact the he hurt their Mom?
Mighty, I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. I think, it can get even worse. He can get worse. I think that feels trapped and desperately trying to find an exit. But all he is doing now is digging himself deeper in the hole.
I like the idea of telling to leave you out of this and stop repeating this nonsense that it didn’t work out. This is not an excuse for hurting you and the kids.
